He basically said since Eminem thinks he great he doesn’t care who thinks he isn’t. That’s real!

[@PHlophe]

he is depressed AF. i have always felt like he is someone that tried to self delete and someone swooped in to save his ass.

[@oregonvibez]

​@PHlophe America is depressing - I see this artist giving his all in the art. It's depressing to not see that same effort from our leaders in power - when a rapper has more influence to change and a better heart than the ones we put in high offices. I'm sure that's a lot of weight

[@SolidSnake240]

Fr. Joyner worse than Cam'ron with that 😂

[@dylanlouth]

Ok if my comments aren't being deleted now... 😂 I'm pretty sure Joyner picked up on the childish nature of the interview, after both being razzed for saying "pause" once by 2 of the hosts, and then immediately asked a backhanded question about why he isn't mentioned among good artists. It was very disrespectful, and I don't think that demeanor nor the haters who have the time to come in here and hate... I don't think that's very representative of real rap culture. I'm getting tmz tabloid vibes here.

[@Venomous_471]

And people don't even say pause anymore now it's no diddy😂😂😂😂😂😭

[@retrokidbk83]

​​​@@Venomous_471we still say Pause. You new niggas tryna adapt that "No Diddy" shit. Us cats that created the "Pause" game in the 90's would tell you that you'd say "No Diddy/No Homo" so that you can't get paused. Everyone today plays the game incorrectly. Joyner is supposed to be saying "No Homo/No Diddy" or to be PC and not get cancelled you say "No Mo". You're not supposed to Pause yourself. It's similar to the Punch Buggy game. If you say"I got my license" you can't get punched (saying No Homo/No Mo/No Diddy prevents you from being Paused by the crew).

[@GoodLifeBreeze]

That’s because childish ppl like you and other will break things a part and make up anything to talk about like your comment now.

[@jasminetate0117]

I definitely feel Joyner on that turning that switch off no matter who it is. I had to do that with my best friend from high school when I was going through cancer. It was always negativity spewing out of her at that time so I had to just cut all of it out and now our friendship is better today. But a person I had to switch off was for me and my life and not having stress because I was pregnant and I have a pre-existing condition that landed me in the hospital twice. I had to get blood transfusions as well because my hemoglobin dropped being pregnant and the person could only think of themselves. Had to switch that off permanently.
